Oil Pressure Check
Be careful not to burn yourself, as the englne and
oil may be hot
1 Warm up engine
2 Stop engine and remove oil pressure switch

3 Install pressure gauge
4 Start engine and check oil pressure with engine
running under no-load

The above table shows data tested when SAE
1OW-30 oil is used and oil temperature is between
77 and 83°C (171 and 181°F). Slight difference
will
be found because of oil viscosity or oil tem-
perature If difference is extreme, check oil passage
and
oil pump for oil leaks
